Thank you very much for the replies. So this refunding the rebate is an expensive proposition. One possibility is that someone I trust will live at my house and receive my mail and therefore I would not need to change address at all. Another possibility as you mention, I have several...

I'm on the first year of a lease on a 2015 Leaf & considering relocating from CA to CO; wondering what considerations to think about for the car. Obviously need to find charging either at home or work. Other things I'm wondering: > how do I get it there, rent something to tow it with or ship...

No, absolutely not. Because I was there before the other car and operated under the assumption the charger is to be used on a "first come, first served" basis, I feel entitled to charge BEFORE cars that come AFTER mine - else I would not have left my car to begin with. Being "stranded" by...

Thanks for the great advice! As I already said, I do have a plan B, but you didn't bother to read the thread before calling me names, did you? If you can't help being a troll, then maybe the Internet is just not for you.

Thanks for the tip Randy, I will definitely try that with the new ones!

:lol: the rain storms were fun this week, odometer says 34,900 yeah i'm way overdue for some new ones, but i figure the longer i wait the better chance of lasting til the end of my lease. But do I get 2 more capitols (and would they hurt the range that much more?!)? I wonder if these will...

Now that you mention it, probably. I added them one at a time because the first was to replace a flat, so it was gradual but I'm definitely getting less range and the battery still charges to 12.

considering the majority of the impacts were towards the bottom of the window (whereas in my past experience they tend to be more in the middle, or all over) I was wondering if the rocks could be skipping off the upper flat part of the hood onto the window. There's been construction on the...

My commute is on a freeway with a lot of trucks. Lately I've been having a ton of problems with rocks hitting my windshield, more than I've ever had in 30 years of driving, and I now have to wonder if the Leaf's aerodynamics make it susceptible to windshield impacts (from rocks) and cracks...

I leased my Leaf in April 2012 and at the time I was told that in order to get the California rebate I must retain the vehicle for a minimum of 39 months. Now the dealership (First Nissan in Simi Valley) is calling and scheduling me for an inspection and trade-in talk. I told them that I...

The Leaf driver was sitting in the car so it would have been odd to leave a note. We made eye contact, obviously they knew I wanted to be plugged in. What? Call for service? About what? The broken public charger? It's almost better with just one because then drivers can switch off when...

well my plan B is to plug in the wall outlet at work, but figuring I'd get the public charger today I already wasted half the day unplugged. And yeah I definitely plan to speak with the driver of the white leaf next and every time going forward.

At the train station near my work are 2 public chargers and 2 spaces. One of the chargers has been broken for months. So the two spaces have been sharing the one charger. About two weeks ago I pulled into the second spot and a white Leaf was plugged in with driver seated inside. When I asked...

Thanks for bringing this up again - my screen was stuck tilted again the following day. I actually found a flat attached piece of plastic floating around behind the screen, that seems to be broken off from somewhere - it was very loose but did not come out from the dash, i have no clue what it...

yes they did the interior - and funny enough, when i got out of work today, it was finally in the flush vertical position! I hadn't thought about spray but that makes some sense. Thanks a lot! Joe
